Biography
Rebecca Tipton is a Lecturer in Interpreting and Translation Studies and a researcher based in the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies (CTIS) at the University of Manchester. Her key publications include Routledge Handbook of Translation and Pragmatics (Routledge, 2019) and Dialogue Interpreting: A Guide to Interpreting in Public Services and the Community (Routledge, 2016).
“This carefully compiled and outstanding resource is long-due and a timely contribution to the canon of translation education literature. It is bound to become an invaluable ‘must have’ and essential reading for translation and interpreting educators working in today’s rapidly changing teaching environment. Its breadth and scope, including practical activities and case examples, allow for an impressive insight into teaching ethics, ethics-informed curriculum development and ethics education for different fields of translation and interpreting, also taking up pressing issues such as ethics in machine translation, post-editing, collaborative translation and research.”
Sonja Pöllabauer, Centre for Translation Studies, University of Vienna
“The call for ethics to enter the classroom is not new but until Teaching Translation Ethics, there was not a stand-alone book fully designed to guide educators. Tipton astutely considers the place of ethics in the translation and interpreting (TI) curriculum, including when using translation technologies and throughout the research process. Her writing is engaging, and she provides useful prompts and reflection points to develop ethical sensitivity in the classroom and beyond. It is a must-read book for anyone training translators, interpreters and TI researchers.”
Charlotte Bosseaux, Edinburgh University, UK
"A seminal and must-read book that comprehensively explores ethics education …Provides a holistic overview of ethical issues in the TI curriculum instead of focusing on narrow aspects of ethics, covering diverse topics from digital ethics to research integrity"
-Mianjun Xu, Journal of Academic Ethics (2025)
